I'm following the hello world api guide, but came across an error when `npx sst start`:

There was an error synthesizing your app.

I think the only thing I modified from the hello world was changing

import { App } from "@..."

to

import App from "@.."

to address the commonjs module error

Are you talking about this file? So in your app you changed the

{ App }

to just

App

? Could you paste a screenshot of your stack index?

I think I did for both

index.js

and

MyStack.js

hmm ok I am not sure I am following why those were changed from

import { Api } from "@serverless-stack/resources";

and

import { App } from "@serverless-stack/resources";

but if you do

import Api from "@serverless-stack/resources";

Api will end up being all the exports from this file https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/blob/master/packages/resources/src/index.ts What was the commonjs module error you were trying to get around in the first place?

Thanks in advance for helping! Let me revert and get the commonjs error back.

odd, ok can you run

npm list

from your

/home/eric/code/serixscorpio/notes

folder. Just curious what versions of things you have installed for this.

resources

now updated to

1.2.23

! let me see if I can get past the commonjs error

there we go. does that run now?

I think so! Hmm.. not sure if I would be able to reproduce the issue I faced. I recall following the instructions at https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/create-an-sst-app.html and then at https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/create-a-hello-world-api.html.

So essentially

$ npm init sst javascript-starter notes
$ cd notes
$ npm install
$ npx sst start

Just threw that together here and all seems good. It put together this

package.json

Not sure how ya got it in that state, but sounds like its working ok now

FWIW, Another thing I recalled is at one point I did

npm audit fix --force

, which is probably what downgraded to

@serverless-stack/cli@0.4.5

oh dang ok thats good to know. so @thdxr looks like you get this warning just following the basic 4 steps in the intro guide . So folks then run the

audit fix --force

which puts resources out of sync with the cli. looks like you end up with 0.4.5

This new issue seems relevant https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/issues/1804 , but an older issue https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/issues/690 seems to suggest the work is more involved. Anyway, really appreciate the fine work here!

Yeah I know fighting these vulnerability warnings is rough. Likely that code never makes it into the end product anyway. But probably good to know that if you follow the guide steps and what you see on screen you end up with something broken.

@Ross Gerbasi thanks for looking into this!
